Texturing - Normal mapping help
Hey, I'm still getting used to the normal mapping work flow and I'm unsure how to paint them. Here's what I want to paint: http://www.pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=43766 It's a cupboard.

Displacements used with normal maps?
Hey, I wanted some advice on displacement & normal map workflow when it comes to texturing in substance painter... I wanted to apply a noise tillable to a piece of clothing in zbrush and then extract a displacement of it.

Baking tangent space normals with Arnold RTT in maya. Am I missing something?
I've been building a wrapper around the Arnold RTT tools so they aren't shit but I'm struggling a bit with normals. I'm not very familiar with Arnold so may be missing something but I don't seem to be able to bake normals into the tangent space of my target bake mesh. The aiUtility node gives me world space normals which… -

Re: In need of help understanding general normal mapping concepts
1: To me it looks like you are still adding a little skew. If you look directly down on the mesh from the top do the cage edge loops and the mesh edgeloops line up? if not then the raycast is not perpendicular. 2: I'm guessing you are not averaging the direction of the raycast, so the raycast is following the mesh normals.… -

There are multiple tutorials and discussions about foliage and building trees but i can't find any that shows full picture.
